Zhou Ancestor's Mausoleum: The first ancestor of the Zhou people, Bu Zhi, is buried here
Located in Dongshan, Qingcheng County, Qingyang City, Gansu Province, the site is not a mountain but a high loess land on the Dongzhi Plateau of the Loess Plateau. A great man is buried here, the ancestor of the Zhou people and many other surnames - Bu Zhi, who is recorded as the first ancestor of the Zhou people.
He is said to be the great-great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor and the son of Hou Ji, the first leader of the Zhou people.
During the reign of Tai Kang in the Xia dynasty, when the state was corrupt and Hou Yi replaced Xia, Bu Zhi resigned from his official position and led his clan to the area of today's Qingyang, near the Malian River, to develop agriculture. His grandson, Gong Liu, moved to Bin land. After several generations of diligent governance by the Zhou leaders, a great change occurred during the time of Duke Dan Fu. Once again, the clan moved, and this time the relocation to Qishan was a sign of the Zhou's 800-year reign. After the death of Duke Dan Fu, his son Ji Li was killed by King Zhou of Shang. His son was King Wen of Zhou, Ji Chang, who chose to endure for the sake of the Zhou people and to avenge his father, thus escaping King Zhou's assassination. It was not until King Wu of Zhou that the opportunity arose, leading to the Battle of Muye, overthrowing the rule of King Zhou of Shang, and starting the 800-year reign of the Zhou dynasty...

The first attraction at the Qingcheng Museum Mausoleum of the Ancestors of Zhou is the statue of Qi Bo.

He often discussed medicine with the Yellow Emperor, and his works such as 'Su Wen' and 'Nan Jing' have been passed down through the ages.
Qi Bo is considered the progenitor of traditional Chinese medicine, and his figure can be seen in major traditional Chinese medicine hospitals today. His greatest contribution was in the field of medicine. He laid the theoretical foundation for traditional Chinese medicine in our country. Chinese medicine is often referred to as 'Qi Huang' or 'the art of Qi Huang', with Qi Bo being of paramount importance.

You must visit the Zhou Ancestral Tomb when you come to Qingyang!
1. This is a geomantic treasure on the Loess Plateau, the ancestor of agricultural culture, the birthplace of China's first medical book 'Huangdi Neijing', the hometown of Qibo, the founder of Chinese medicine, and the hometown of the Zhou emperor! Therefore, it is also rated as a 4A scenic spot by the state.
2. In addition, as the hometown of Qibo, the mutton here is also unique, without any unpleasant smell, and has a faint taste of traditional Chinese medicine. The soup is also made from Chinese herbal medicine. The taste is delicious and memorable.
3. The locals are also extremely enthusiastic, allowing you to taste the strong and simple atmosphere.
